"The Creek Freedmen were former African slaves of the Creek Nation of Indians, one of the Five Civilized Tribes.
They were emancipated after the Civil War and by a new treaty signed in 1866 between the United States and the Creek Nation,
they were adopted as tribal citizens with full rights of Indians.
In 1979, the Muscogee (Creek) Nation decitizenized the Creek Freedmen descendants by reorganizing the Creek tribal government. The racist constitutional organizers found a way to disenfranchised it's black slave descendants by a vote of a select group of people, which the Freedmen descendants believed was grossly illegal.
No more will Creek Freedmen descendants wear the badges of slavery. The Creek Freedmen descendants have vowed to fight for their citizenship and equal rights as members of the Muscogee (Creek) Nation.
This web-site was created to inform the American public about the truth of slavery among the Creek Indians. The promise made to African slaves and the treaty broken."
